I owned an Xbox back in those particularly glorious sixth-generation days, and owing to the fact that this game found release on the PS2, Gamecube and PC, Hot Wheels Velocity X completely passed me by. Now, before we get started, I have to tell you that I have no nostalgia attached to this game.
Quality? Fuck that! GIMME THOSE SALES!ĭisappointing then, but every so often, you’d get a game like Hot Wheels: Velocity X. Kids licensed games were even worse, generally speaking. OK, they were mostly misses, as with startling regularity, hot properties of the day were shoehorned into genres they had no place being in. Licensed games of the 90s/00s could be hit or miss.
